Description

Mersenne numbers can be tested with high-performance Lucas-Lehmer routines. Number-theory enthusiasts and distributed-search participants use this program when checking whether very large Mersenne numbers are prime.

It is a mathematical computation tool, not a general calculator. Long runs can consume substantial CPU, power, and cooling capacity.
